Sun Microsystems has launched a grenade at Microsoft and it's called StarOffice.
Sun Microsystems is getting ready to release the sixth test version of its StarOffice productivity software suite. Unfortunately, the company is still delivering the same message, implying that StarOffice is appropriate for corporate desktops.
The Department of Veteran's Affairs (DVA) has chosen to upgrade its ageing Microsoft Office 97 software suite with Office 2003, shunning a tender that included OpenOffice from open source software specialist Single Point.
The two companies are cooperating on a version of Sun's StarOffice productivity software for Mac OS X. The plan has one rival in mind: Microsoft Office.
All processes around the sale, manufacturing, distribution and basic support of the new version of Sun Microsystems' office suite will be outsourced in Australia to a yet-to-be-appointed local software publisher.
If you're switching to OpenOffice, here's how to leverage the Star Office Migration Partner for mass migrations.
Sun would like to think it can succeed where others have failed,,"in breaking Microsoft's stranglehold on the office productivity market,"by offering a product that's almost as good as Microsoft Office at a much lower price. Do the sums add up?

Office may be the best-selling office suite on the planet, but that doesn't mean it's the best-performing suite.
StarOffice 6.0 is relatively inexpensive, but it's unlikely to win over existing users of Microsoft's Office products.

StarOffice might not be ready to totally displace Microsoft Office in the enterprise, but version 6 beta shows the suite has the stuff to loosen Microsoft's iron grip.
OpenOffice.org developers have put the finishing touches on their productivity suite, which provides users and businesses with an alternative to Microsoft's Office suite.
OpenOffice.org, the open-source office suite project, has reached a milestone in porting the software to Mac OS X with an early release for Mac developers.
